You know what they say: All toasters toast toast!

[xyzzysqrl]

We bought a new toaster, because ours had been making funny noises and had been worryingly not popping up and such. As with everything else in our lives, this became an Event.

Sqrl, looking at brushed-steel-and-black-accents toaster: "Did you honestly buy just... the MANLIEST toaster in the store? The one that looked most GUY to you?"
Woof: "NO. I bought like the middle of the road toaster. Although look at these -slots-, you could..."
Sqrl: "I could put my hand in there. Look at the BOX."
Woof: "Look at that bagel! It's the size of a full cake, if you put both halves together again. Who MAKES bagels that big?!"
Sqrl: "Yeah, but... seriously, it's all brushed..."
Woof: "I could've gotten the Gordon Ramsey toaster."
Sqrl: "Oh fuck. Thank you for not."
Woof: "Yeah. If we used plain white bread it would have bitched us out. WHAT'S THE BLOODY MATTER WITH YOU? YOU DON'T LIKE _FLAVOR_?"


...and so on.

Funnily enough, this popped up on my Facebook wall mere moments ago.

Hee. Sounds like the sqrl nearly ended up with Talkie's Evil Twin, the Hell's Toaster, though...

That said, it sounds like they ended up with the chromed version of the budget toaster I have, which has extra-wide slots for bagels. One thing about it that amuseds me majorly is that the darkness dial on it has a setting specifically labeled for Pop-Tarts. Logo and all.
